<div class="description"><p>The <code>ngBind</code> attribute tells Angular to replace the text content of the specified HTML element
with the value of a given expression, and to update the text content when the value of that
expression changes.</p>

<p>Typically, you don't use <code>ngBind</code> directly, but instead you use the double curly markup like
<code>{{ expression }}</code> which is similar but less verbose.</p>

<p>Once scenario in which the use of <code>ngBind</code> is prefered over <code>{{ expression }}</code> binding is when
it's desirable to put bindings into template that is momentarily displayed by the browser in its
raw state before Angular compiles it. Since <code>ngBind</code> is an element attribute, it makes the
bindings invisible to the user while the page is loading.</p>

<p>An alternative solution to this problem would be using the
<a href="api/ng.directive:ngCloak"><code>ngCloak</code></a> directive.</p></div>
